Basketball standards, backboards and rims are encouraged to be installed in less prominent areas such as rear or side yards. 10. Fences. Fences, where permitted, shall be designed to enhance visibility and shall not be tall, solid barriers that negate the feeling of neighborhood.

Prior to the construction of any fence, plans shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Reviewer.

The metal material, dimensions, stain and color, along with construction details are set forth in the Fence Detail Appendix (the Wrought Iron fence), and all fences shall be in conformance with these details. The Reviewer reserves the right to approve alternate fence types or not require fencing, as may be deemed appropriate in the Reviewer s discretion. b. Fence Location Restrictions. The following locations restrictions shall be adhered to. i. Any side or rear yard boundary that borders another single family residential lot shall utilize the Reviewer approved Wrought Iron fence, and unless further restricted by these Guidelines shall not exceed five feet (5.2 ) in height. ii.

Champions Way, adjacent to a pond and certain pathways, shall either not be fenced, or if permitted to be fenced by the Reviewer, shall utilize Wrought Iron fencing no higher than four feet (3.4 ). iii.
